Bank of Sydney Home Loan Review

Luserblocked on 08/09/2016 - 11:21

This is my first post. So please be kind.

I am processing home loan with an aggregator and they have come up with a product from Bank of Sydney. Noticed this because my credit file knocked off with an entry.

So questions are :

How is your overall experience with this bank?
How is their customer service & online banking facility?
Safe to use their offset facility?

Thanks in advance for your input.

    Avoid Small Lenders…just incase…Dig Deep and find the best rate with Big Banks. You might get same deal with Big Banks as i did.

      Avoid Small Lenders…

      Any particular reason not to go with small lenders? Also do you mind sharing deal you got from Big 4?

      With this lender I have been offered 3.63% Variable with free offset and no ongoing or any fees.

          That's really good rate. I will need to chase them up then. Thanks

          @userblocked: Please PM me for his details

        • userblocked on 08/09/2016 - 19:21

          @Ametric: Thanks for your reply. But there are not many reviews there.

          @userblocked
          The deal is quite recent, don't think that someone from that post has already taken the loan, I'm still waiting for their approval though…

        • userblocked on 09/09/2016 - 12:27

          @Ametric: I'm actually asking for review of this lender.

        • userblocked on 09/09/2016 - 12:48

          @Ametric: are you processing direct with Bank of Sydney?

        • Ametric on 09/09/2016 - 12:57

          @userblocked: nope, using a broker from that post, as that offer is the best on the market (what I could find)…

        • Looking4Bargians on 09/09/2016 - 14:22

          @Ametric: Ask to the broker which i have mentioned and then compare which one is better for you.

        • userblocked on 09/09/2016 - 14:22

          @Ametric: Reduce Loans?

        • Ametric on 09/09/2016 - 14:25

          @userblocked: got their approval, they work through this bank as well, but their lowest similar product is 3.44% + application fees…

        • userblocked on 09/09/2016 - 14:39

          @Ametric: 80% only right? I'm on 85% :(

        • Ametric on 09/09/2016 - 14:45

          @userblocked: yeah, correct ;( But it might me cheaper to take another loan or use a credit card than pay mortgage insurance for 85% LVR…

    [UPDATE]
    Have been getting phone call from valuer (BOS assigned) to have property available for inspection for valuation? But it's not ready yet…

    Has anyone gone through property valuation with BOS?

    BUMP

    • Ametric on 27/09/2016 - 15:19

      my application is still with them, hope to get some news this week. As soon as I have an update, I'll post it here…

      • userblocked on 27/09/2016 - 16:47

        Have you had valuation done with them?

        • Ametric on 27/09/2016 - 17:00

          nope, I'm still waiting for their approval…

        • userblocked on 27/09/2016 - 19:16

          @Ametric: Have they actually inspected your property for valuation? If so how long ago?

        • Ametric on 27/09/2016 - 19:19

          @userblocked: nope, they are still revising the documents…

        • userblocked on 27/09/2016 - 19:28

          @Ametric: hmmmm…have you applied directly with them? They've been calling me for property inspection for valuation. SO I think I have passed that documents stage.

        • Ametric on 27/09/2016 - 19:29

          @userblocked: nope through the broker in the topic mentioned above, I hope to hear from them in a few days…

    Hi
    I had my valuation done on Tuesday this week. Have not heard back though.
    The process is taking a bit longer than i thougjt, worth the wait though i reckon…

    • userblocked on 30/09/2016 - 11:06

      Have you chased them up? Let us know here whenever it comes out and how much?

    Has anyone successfully used BOS for home loan using a cashback broker?

    • jsheroes on 14/05/2018 - 22:03

      Upfront cashback, yes.

      • PT8483 on 22/05/2018 - 10:26

        Can you tell me who did you go with?

        • jsheroes on 22/05/2018 - 13:38

          Naritas

    • Ametric on 15/05/2018 - 07:08

      using with the offer of lifetime (loan) cashback, all is fine :)

    • PT8483 on 15/05/2018 - 16:49
